You're so restful, Jim." "Thank you," he said. I mean it. I like to be with you." She pulled off her hat, rested her head against the trellis behind her. She looked weary, Jim thought, dispirited. There were faint shadows under her eyes. "What is it Cecily?" Jim asked. "What is troubling you? Do you want to tell me? "Of course. That's why I kid naped you. Will you listen, Jim?" "My one accomplishment." The waiter brought tall glasses. Cecily took a few sips and set her glass aside. "It's Jerry," she said, after a moment. You astonish me," he said. "I thought it was the new issue of government bonds." She smiled faintly. "Do you mind if I talk about Jerry?" she asked. "I mean after the night we danced Will it hurt you, Jim?"

WNU Service. desirable Nothing puts that "June" flavor in milk quite so suc- cessfully as tender green grass, but in order to avoid the undesirable odor and flavor which nearly always occurs when cows are first turned on pasture, it is necessary to observe caution in the pasturing practice. Research workers at the California and Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment stations have shown that if cows are kept away from roughages, especially green roughages, at least five hours before milking very little of the "feedy" flavor will be evident in the milk. This same procedure can be applied to pasturing practices. The cows can be turned on pasture immediately after the morning milking but they should be removed to a dry lot or barn at least five hours before the next milking. If this practice is followed for the first two or three weeks in the spring, there will be very little of the undesirable grass odor and fla vor in the milk. This practice will even eliminate most of the wild garlic or onion flavor if these plant are found in the pasture. At the same time the cows will have enough time to consume the necessary quantity of grass to supply their needs. To get the very finest flavor in milk during the pasture season, it is "Come On, Jim, Let's Fly!" suggested that this procedure be foltired and disappointed and a little lowed throughout the entire time. exasperated.
